The History of the Kappa League

The history of the Kappa League can be traced back to February 12^th, 1970.  Mel Davis who was the chairman of the Los Angeles (CA) Alumni Chapter’s Social Action Program, developed a program called the Kappa Instructional Leadership League.  The program was first implemented at Alain LeRoy Locke High School geared towards young men between the 10^th and 12^th grades.  The goal was to “help the young men to achieve worthy goals for themselves and make constructive contributions to their community when leadership roles become their responsibilities.”  With the success of the program at Alain LeRoy Locke High School, the program serves as the model for programs for other chapters.

Since it’s inception in November of 2005, the Winter Park (FL) Kappa League builds on it’s foundation through club oriented activities.  The plan is for the members to perform projects that will expose them to planning, execution, reporting ideas, and simulating good leadership characteristics designed to raise their aspirations levels.  That is accomplished through five phases:

Phase I – Self Identity

Phase II – Training

Phase III – Competition

Phase IV – Social

Phase V – Health Education
